Three moves and two methods to tame Vista's network neighbors

In the LAN environment, I believe most people will often use the "Network neighbors" window to facilitate transmission and communication with colleagues and friends. However, when using the "Network neighbors" window, many people often complain that "their network neighbors cannot be used normally, while others can use it normally, "why can't they always browse the computer while they are on the neighborhood?" In fact, as long as we learn to "tame" the system's network neighbor function, we can easily stay away from the troubles mentioned above. This is not the case. Now, this article will provide you with some tips to "tame" your network neighbors in the Vista system environment, I believe that these contents can help you better communicate with colleagues and friends in the Vista network.

How to access the gateway from the Internet

As the saying goes, "Know Yourself And know yourself and know what you want to do. As you know, generally, the LAN uses the working group mode for networking. In this mode, each workstation plays both the client role and the server role. In the LAN environment, the operating systems installed and used on each computer may not be the same. For example, some computers have Windows XP and some computers have Windows 98, some computers have already installed Windows Vista. It looks very easy to connect workstations with different systems to each other, but make sure they can access each other through the network neighbor window, but it is very strict. Any access link accident may lead to access failures of network neighbors.

Under normal circumstances, a computer in the LAN must pass through ports, protocols, services, verification, authorization, and review to successfully access the shared resources of another computer through the network neighbor window, if any part of these links cannot be closed, the network neighbors will not be able to play its role normally. Generally, the access factors at the bottom of the network neighbor function include the communication port, network protocol, system service, and network components. Only these factors are normal, the two computers in the LAN can establish access connections through the network neighbors. Of course, after the access connection is established, it does not mean that they can access and share resources with each other, user Authentication, system security policy authorization, and server-side permission review are required in the middle of the process. If these steps can also pass normally, the access process of network neighbors can be successful.

Check the Protocol and ensure that the Protocol is correctly installed.

Through the previous introduction, we have realized that if the Vista system workstation is not correctly installed or is not correctly set, it may cause access failures by network neighbors, for this reason, we should first check the network communication protocol of the Vista system in the case of a network neighbor access failure. Because only the TCP/IP protocol is used for network access at ordinary times, we only need to check whether the TCP/IP protocol is correctly installed and set. Someone may say, by default, the TCP/IP protocol is automatically installed in Windows. skip this step. This is really good, but the Vista system will install both the TCP/IPv6 protocol and the TCP/IPv4 protocol by default, while the TCP/IPv6 protocol is rarely used at ordinary times, if we keep the installation status of the Protocol, our network access speed will be affected by the communication protocol in the future, which may lead to low access efficiency of network neighbors, therefore, it is necessary to cancel the installation status of the TCP/IPv6 protocol and set the TCP/IPv4 protocol correctly.

When you cancel the TCP/IPv6 installation status, you can first log on to the Vista system desktop as a system administrator, click "start", "set", and "network connection" commands on the desktop. In the displayed network connection List window, right-click the "local connection" icon, run the "properties" command from the shortcut menu to open the local connection Property setting window;

On the "network" tab page of the settings window, check whether the TCP/IPv6 protocol options are selected (1). If this option is found to have been selected, we must promptly cancel the selected status, so that TCP/IPv6 does not affect and interfere with the normal access to the network neighbor window.

　　

Select the TCP/IPv4 protocol option with the mouse, and click "properties" to go To the TCP/IPv4 attribute setting interface, in this interface, you must set the IP address, gateway address, DNS server address, and other parameters of the computer. If you want to access the shared resources of other computers in the LAN by using the host name, we also need to click the "advanced" button on the TCP/IPv4 attribute setting interface, and click the "WINS" tag on the TCP/IP advanced attribute interface to open the label setting page shown in 2, select the "enable NetBios on TCP/IP" item on the page, and click "OK" to complete the network communication protocol settings modification operation.

　　

Check the port to ensure that the Network Channel is smooth.

The communication port is also at the bottom of the network neighbor function. If the related communication port in the computer is not open, the network channel between the local computer and other computers in the LAN will be closed, then, LAN users cannot share access or communicate with each other through the network neighbor window. Generally, communication ports 135, 137, 139, and 445 in computer systems are used for shared access through the network neighbor window. If these ports are not open, shared communication through the network neighbor window will fail.

When you check whether the communication ports 135, 137, 139, 445, and are enabled on the local computer system, you can click Start/run on the Vista system desktop, in the displayed system running dialog box, enter the "cmd" command and click "OK" to switch the system status to the ms-dos window, run the string command "netstat-a" at the command line prompt in this window ", from the subsequent result interface, we can clearly see whether the local computer system has enabled communication ports such as 135, 137, 139, and 445. By default, Windows automatically enables communication ports such as 135, 137, 139, and 445, we can follow the steps above to go to the interface shown in 1, and set "File and Printer sharing for Micosoft Net ..." Re-select the project and then enable the Remote Desktop function. This ensures that all communication ports 135, 137, 139, and 445 are enabled.

Of course, if the firewall is enabled for the Vista workstation system, the firewall may restrict the Communication Behavior of the Relevant Network Ports, leading to the failure of normal access through shared access by network neighbors, in this case, we can follow the steps below to set up the system's built-in firewall to ensure that it permits the shared access port:

First, click Start, set, and control panel commands on the system desktop in the Vista workstation to open the control panel window of the local workstation, click "security" and "allow programs to use Windows Firewall" in the window to enter the firewall parameter settings window. In the "program or port" List of the window, select the "file and printer sharing" option and click the "application" button, so that Vista Firewall will not limit the normal access behavior of network neighbors.

Check the service to ensure the browsing function is valid

In the Vista network environment, if we want to find other workstations in the LAN through the network neighbor window, we must ensure that the System Service "Computer Browser" can run effectively, otherwise, we cannot find the shared access target through the network neighbor window. To ensure that the Vista workstation browsing function is effective, follow these steps to check whether the system service "Computer Browser" is running properly:

Log on to the Vista system with the super administrator privilege, and click Start and run on the desktop one by one to open the system run box of the local workstation and enter services. msc string command, click OK to go To the Vista Workstation Service list interface;

Double-click the "Computer Browser" service option on the service list page, open the System Service "Computer Browser" attribute settings page, and click the "General" tab on the page, go to the option settings page shown in 3;

　　

Find the "service status" setting item on this page. Here we can clearly see whether the system service "Computer Browser" is running normally at this moment; once you see that the target system service is not running properly, you must first click the "Start" button on the corresponding settings page to restart the service normally, then, you also need to check whether the Service Startup type is set to "automatic". If not, you 'd better modify it so that the target system service can be started along with the system, click the "OK" button, so that the computer browsing function of Vista workstation can run effectively. Through the network neighbor window, we can quickly find the target workstation in the LAN for shared access.

Check security to ensure successful verification

As mentioned above, shared access through network neighbors must pass multi-layer security verification to succeed. If one of the security verification links encounters an accident, the shared access through network neighbors will fail.

First, check whether the Guest user account of the workstation is enabled. We know that during identity authentication, the workstation will first try to verify with its current user account, and the server will map the normal visitor identity to the Guest user, if the use of the Guest user account in the Vista workstation is stopped, shared access by common users through the network neighbor window may be affected. When checking whether the Guest user account is enabled, you can right-click the "computer" icon and click the "manage" command from the shortcut menu, open the Computer Management window of the local system. In the left-side pane of the Management window, expand "System Tools", "local users and groups", and "users" branch options in sequence, in the display pane of the corresponding "user" branch options, double-click the Guest user account option to open the account attribute settings window shown in 4, in the settings window, cancel the selected status of the "Account Disabled" item and click the "application" button, so that the Guest user account can be properly enabled.

　　

Second, check whether security policy audit is enabled on the server. When checking the Security Policy audit settings, we can follow the steps below: first, on the Vista system desktop, click the "Start" and "run" menu commands one by one with the mouse, open the running dialog box of the local system and enter "gpedit. msc string command, click OK to open the system group policy editing window. In the left-side pane of the editing window, expand "Computer Configuration"/"
